Ex-SDNY prosecutor slams GOP for Cohen attacks: The government didnt pick him as their witness Trump did

The former U.S. Attorney with the Southern District of New York panned Republicans for attacking the credibility of Donald Trumps former lawyer Michael Cohen during his congressional testimony by noting that it was their partys president who propped him up in the first place.
GOP congressmen like Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) are missing the forest for the trees when attacking Cohens credibility, ex-U.S. Attorney David Kelly told MSNBCs Ari Melber Thursday.
They need to remember, the government didnt pick Cohen as their witness Trump did, Kelly said.
This is a person who Trump chose to have by his side for ten years or more, the ex-prosecutor added. And Jim Jordan, those folks who have been former prosecutors, know well that the way you find out about what the bad people do is you get somebody who is close to the bad person, who is bad themselves.
